I would love to see the process improve here. Ratios are one way to =
measure value, but when networks are dissimilar it=92s hard to compare =
them. =20
Regional ASN vs Global ASN, wholesale vs consumer vs enterprise vs CDN =

ratio is going to cause broader changes in the marketplace. I suspect =
it will and those in the US consumer/SMB space may see benefits. I=92d =
